Course Description

The cameraman is usually referred to as a camera operator who uses motion pictures to shoot an event or produce a TV drama, a documentary, a news or sports program. This means that the shooting locations are multiple and could be inside or outside the studio. Besides, the cameraman should be used to the working conditions in the digital media and IT. But despite the multiplicity of disciplines in which the cameraman has to work, they all converge in one skill, mastering the visual language or understanding the visual composition in order to express feelings and contents.
